We have just got back from an exhausting and immensely rewarding weekend in Amsterdam. We had a huge impact in two of the largest estates in the city. On Saturday we set up in the park of a very large housing complex that is 60% Turkish. The needs where obvious and the response to the Gospel was very strong with many opportunities to pray with people.

Late on Saturday night we went into the heart of the red light district to carry the Gospel into that notorious stronghold of pain of darkness. I was very apprehensive of what might happen when I preached the Gospel in there but the response was overwhelming. The team were able to pray with several people including two of the working girls. The slavery, the pain and the brokenness where almost more than I could bear and I was physically sick at what I saw as I preached to hundreds of people without a microphone in full view of the ‘shop windows’. It's a far cry from the middle class niceties of my life and an immense challenge to drive on with this vision.

Yesterday we ran a 6 hour event in the Muslim area of Amsterdam and again we were met with heart-breaking need but tremendous openness to the Gospel. We fed the community with a Halal barbecue out of respect for their customs during Ramadan and this was also greatly appreciated.

I'm sure Amsterdam will be a central part of the future as we push into the Mainland of Europe. Thank you so much for the support in so many ways. We need you!
